WORD

I called this bookstore to inquire about “My Selma”book.
The gentleman who answered the phone was very kind. I look forward to meeting them soon.

Word has such helpful and friendly staff! Great book store with a broad selection. They have games and other fun things, too. I love that they added outdoor seating in Hamilton park!

I usually just have a coffee and check out what's new, but to my surprise on this day there was a story time and the atmosphere was great. Nice comfy nook and extremely mellow. I think I'm a regular now 😅

Sweet little book shop next to the park and ice cream shop.

Just discovered this spot not too long ago and my last two visits have been amazing. Customer service is also really good. Male ringing me up was helpful and even recommended me some titles after I told him I got back into a genre. Will definitely be returning.

I love this place. First, the customer service is very attentive and warm. All the booksellers are highly knowledgeable about their inventory and are always willing to help you find something, or suggest something similar. Second, they are very intentional about showcasing BIPOC authors and stories that are less represented in other bookstores. I never fail to find the book I'm looking for, our stumble across something new that I always end up loving. They also have a selection of cards, puzzles, journals, candles and other gifts, as well as a cafe in the back. It's the only place I'm interested in buying my books from!

Great selection of titles, focusing on high quality and recent publications. Really great spot to find a gift for the reader in your life (and/or yourself). As of Nov 2021, you have to be masked to enter, which makes it even more pleasant to browse the selection.

I absolutely love the place. Quirky independent book store with tons of activities/book clubs/events. The employees are incredibly warm and friendly. My daughter absolutely loves the Saturday story time. Additionally, the cafe has delicious drinks and snacks. If you are a book lover, go here, support local businesses - you won’t be disappointed!

I really love visiting Word. They have great offerings, and the neighborhood feel is a bonus. The last time I visited because my friend's book came out that same day. The clerk putting out new books was so nice and even displayed her book so sweetly in the front of the store! Not only that but they were more than patient with me browsing through the store and answering all the specific questions I had about product and stock. I purchased postcards, pencils, a journal + so much more beyond just books. I felt very welcomed and I can't wait to return!

Such helpful and welcoming staff! Great options and lovely environment
